Growing healthy food, healthy kids, and healthy communities.

We are participating again in the annual Omaha Gives online fundraiser. This exciting challenge is our main fundraiser each year, and our goal this year is to raise $30,000 and 400 unique donors between May 1st-22nd. Last year, roughly 25% of individual donations to The Big Garden were raised during Omaha Gives. This year, as an added incentive, we have a generous group of donors who have agreed to MATCH all donations up to $13,500. Click here to learn more.

We are partnering with City Sprouts to offer an exciting new series called Urban Ag School. This is Omaha's first FREE in-depth series of classes that aims to teach people all the basic skills they need to grow their own food. Click here to learn more.

The Big Garden was founded in 2005 by United Methodist Ministries through funding from the USDA's Community Food Project. The initial goal was to create 12 community gardens in three years. As of today, The Big Garden has helped to establish more than 160 community gardens in urban and rural communities throughout Nebraska, Kansas, and Southwest Iowa.

One out of every five children in the U.S. is at risk of hunger.For African-American and Latino children, it's one in three.

Our goal is to reduce hunger by increasing access to fresh, healthy produce and teaching people to grow, cook, & preserve their own!
